EJL Wireless Research Forecasts 2009 North American Wireless Cap Ex Spending to Drop 19.3% to $19.9 Billion

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) REDWOOD CITY, CA, December 10 / MARKET WIRE/ --

North American wireless capital
expenditure spending is forecasted to decline 10.6% in 2008 and another
19.3% in 2009, according to the latest report from EJL Wireless Research
titled "North American Wireless Cap Ex Analysis 2008-2011."

"The spending levels for wireless capital expenditures have been flat for
the first three quarters of 2008 on a year over year basis, but will
decline in Q4. We expect a market recovery by 2011," says founder and
President, Earl Lum.

"Given the economic uncertainty, wireless capital expenditure spending by
most of the major wireless operators in the United States will decline in
2009 when compared with 2008. On a combined basis, AT&T and Verizon
Wireless represent about 75% of the overall total wireless spending for the
United States. However, we expect that the Canadian wireless capital
expenditure numbers will increase in 2009," says Lum.

The report includes detailed analysis for the following mobile operators in
North America: Alltel, AT&T, Bell Mobility, Centennial Communications,
Rogers Communications, Sprint Nextel, Telus Mobility, T-Mobile, and Verizon
Wireless. The report is currently available for purchase and information
can be downloaded at www.ejlwireless.com.
